(June 22, 2014) - This is a quick little jaunt (3 days) into the heart of the Umbria region, where 3 Canadians (Konrad Ejbich, Roberto Staiano and myself are about to discover the region of Montefalco and the wines made from the Sagrantino grape.

We arrived early afternoon to Rome, then took a 2 hour car ride (I'll fully admit I slept through most of it) to Montefalco, where we arrived at Villa Pambuffetti and were greeted by Mauro, son-in-law of the owner. Here we had or first tasting of both Sagrantino wine and Montefalco-hospitality.

As is customary in many on my of my trips, I take a picture of the breakfast room on the last day, and where I begin my morning is where we shall start today's pictorial look ...
